I am doing "market research". I understand this is very important to running a successful business.

How many people here use swords, blades and other edged weapons as their preferred method of fighting or defense?

How many people here are interested in acquiring an a blade or require a blade with unusual specifications or qualities?

Thank you for your response!

I would like to start a business. I have been reading up on it on the internet. I thought as a successful business owner yourself, you could walk me through the process you went through to get started?

Would you be interested in an apprenticeship? I thought after our discussion at the party you might be interested in the art of bladesmithing.

	...A normal sword? What happened to the sword I gave you? Did it not come through the portal with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It seemed like a decent idea.

No, not initially. I just had the clothes on my back when I showed up originally and then when we got to Tumbleweed, the Cottage was here but none of our belongings from Fillory. I didn't get my wardrobe from Whitespire until later.

The sword arrived last week but it's the High King's sword. [...] So I wanted to talk to you about that.

	~~I gave you that~~ Does the sword still work for you? Can you still cast the spell? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fen/Eliot highkingeliot 2018-06-02 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. I'm torn on whether I should keep it or not. It's a sword for the High King and I'm no longer that. [...] But it was also a gift from you. Hence, why I wanted to talk to you about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Humor me for a moment. How tall are you? How tall is Margo? How easily are you able to draw that sword? Now imagine your arms are about six inches shorter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I see your point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are both technically High King. As my husband, I think you should keep the sword. As Margo is my High King from my time period, I think I should make her a new sword. The spellwork has already been done so no new method would have to be devised. She could use the same spell. It would just take some time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~For now.~~ I wasn't leaping to give away your gift, Fen. I just didn't want to feel like I was withholding something that should belong to her now. Time isn't an issue. She's got ways to protect herself in the interim. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. You still have just as much right to the sword as she does. From one High King to the next, you can present it to her when it is done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as you know. Wouldn't you rather? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fen/Eliot cutslike 2018-06-02 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	I gave you the sword because you were a worthy High King. As long as you know that. I gave Margo back her crown. I think this should come from you, since gifting her a sword was your idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. If you are sure, then I would like to. (Reply to this) (Parent)
